Temblors "Roll" Lakes,
Tossing Fish On Banks,
Jerk Boats From Docks
SPOKANE. Aug. 22. (.V)
Inland Empire lakes "rolled and
bubbled" during last night's earth
quake, witnesses said today.
Bea lake, north of Nelport near
the Idaho slate line, "started rock
ing violently," Mrs. William Wil
son said. The resort owner's wife
said the shock "rocked all our
boats loose from our docks and
took thn out on the water.
"When we went out to get them
we could hardly row because of
the pull of the water. We pulled
them high up on the beach where
we thought they would be safe.
Then the lake surface suddenly
rose what seemed to he three or
four feet and took all our boats
out again."
At Clear lake, northwest of
Cheney, Mrs. G. C. Hollomon said
a "young tidal wave" left dozens
of fish on the shore.
"One big wave came In about
six feet and then the whole shore
line receded," she said. "It looked
as though somebody had pullod a
plug out of the lake bottom and
the water was running out.
"After that a huge wave came
In and washed way up on the
shore, and the lake appeared to
rise six or eight Inches.
"That wave threw lots of small
bass up on the shore. I threw
about three dozen back Into the
lake myself and my husband
threw lots more."

For Foreign Arms Aid
(Continued From Page One)
ry is In course of study at the
state department.
But. he said, the Philippines
and Korea, the two young repub
lics In the far east, "need milita-y
assistance if they are to maintain
their national security."
While most of the aid sought in
the arms nrocram would go to
the Atlantic treaty countries, he
said the Philippines ami Korea
will share like others" whose se
curity Is Important to world
peace.
"We must continue our aid to
Greece and Turkey," Mr. Truman
said. "We should help Iran main
tain Its firm stand against Soviet
pressure."
Mr. Truman said military aid 's
"part and parcel" of the policy
of helping European economic re
covery. He conceded It was costly,
but said "it represents an invest
ment in security that will be
worth many times it cost." And
h" said it is "part of the cost of
peace."
Efforts of Senate leaders to re
store the $r80,4!t5,0OO the House
slashed last week from the $1,
10,990,000 set aside for western
Europe in the arms proposal were
underway meanwhile in Wash
ington. They faced opposillon i
from a determined economy dioc
and others who urged against vot
ing the full sum until they are
satisfied the nations to be helped
will work together.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. (JP)
Senator Hickenlooper (R-Iowa)
today Joined in a senate drive to
trim the $l,4r0.000,000 sought by
Ihe administration to finance a
foreien arms aid program.
H!ckenlooMT, a member of the
foreign relations committee, said
he thought the European coun
tries could "get along with sub
slan. tally less monev, than Secre
tary of State Acheson and mili
tary leaders have asked congress
for.
He didn't say he would go as
far as the House did last Fridrv.
It slashed the $l,l(iO,9H),000
tagged by the administration for
North Atlantic nact partners to
$.")0,495,000, or Just half the orig
inal a ,iount.
There was speculation that the
House's action would force the ad
ministration Inlo some kind of
compromise. This might take the
torm of accepting the House fig
ure insofar as cash is concerned
nd trying for as much more as
can be obtained in authority to
enter contracts which would be
paid for in later appropriations.

Tiloism now has taken root in

The new organization described

western sectors of Berlin. .
Karl-Heinz Scholz, vcteran'Ger

"We have formed to fight im

called internationalism of Soviet
Russia is a fraud. We reject any

ceased backing Yugoslav claims

Tito's government had long ago
given up on the idea of getting
Austrian territory to settle war
claims, hut had wished to place
the responsibility for the de
